A portal is a support composed of 2 or more vertical legs linked by horizontal crossarm supporting the power cables (electrical wires).

Cables are supported inside the legs. If some cables are outside them, it's a h-frame tower and power=tower + design=h-frame should be used.

Standard

Several keys can be used to describe a power portal with details. Please use the following:

Tag	Value	Description	Recommendation
power	portal	It's a power portal	Mandatory
ref	Portal reference	Power portal reference as seen in situation	Optional
height	height	The height of the portal from the ground	Optional
operator	operator	The power portal operator's name.	Recommended
structure	lattice, tubular or solid	The structure pattern of the portal	Optional
design	portal design	The generic design name of the portal without any designer internal reference	Optional
design:ref	portal design reference	The design reference of the portal. Most of the time operator's internal references. See F44 for example in France.	Optional
material	material	The material which the portal is made of.	Optional
colour	portal colour	The colours of the portal, separated with a ; .	Optional

Mapping as a

Portals can be supported by more than 2 legs. It is possible to map them as when necessarily and relevant.

Here are two examples of the same situation to show how the two way of mapping work.

		A power portal in an outside power substation and carrying a 225 kV bay line. Mapped as a and using power=insulator to link the power line to it.	For the portal: power=portal operator=RTE structure=tubular material=metal And on the at the connection between power line and portal: power=insulator operator=RTE
